This was always the cheapest when I used to sell stuff on ebay.

ESN is closest to Shore O. That's going to be your best bet.

Yeah I gotta agree with that sentiment. I understand it sends a message to their fans and supporters that they are not happy with their performance and consider anything but gold a failure. But I feel like some people can take that gesture as disrespect. There's a lot of players that would be...

I think I've seen (and heard that kid) at a tournament at 888 a year ago. Hard to forget lol I also had a kid cry on me the first ever tournament I entered. I was in the finals of a U300 event and I was so flummoxed that I went over to his mom to ask what I should do. She was a good parent and...

If you were beating the kid 11-0 and 11-2, then clearly it wasn't just the serve that was winning you points. When I used to play league and they put me up against a kid that clearly was out matched I'd intentionally play a few points where I'd block or fish and let the kid have some...

I think we will find that there will be LESS faults in the long term if players get the message that they should be serving legally. Of course that requires a short term where refs enforce the rules and players get that message and adjust. Having a grey area right now where they may or may not...

I'd argue that it's already working for Harimoto. He nearly beat FZD in the Olympics and now has beat LSD who was the China Smash winner. Getting to the point where you are at parity with the top Chinese players is already an achievement. I also think it's really his only choice to maximize...

For giving an unwanted massage apparently. Obviously it's likely way more serious than that, but that's what all the articles are going with lol

That was how I saw the rallying going too. Harimoto seemed to do a good job mixing up the placement both deep/shallow, and middle/wide with different pacing. It seemed like he was going to LSD's elbow a lot and it was unpredictable enough where LSD played it with a decent enough BH but which...

Yeah this reductio ad absurdum argument OP is trying to make doesn't seem to be convincing anyone. It doesn't take crazy technology for these rules to be enforced. It just takes refs being bold enough to enforce the rules and more people to call out cheaters. In the last game of the WCQ/Truls...

How about not misrepresenting the guy you're responding to? :) Clearly he never said anything about banning spin, but you are responding to him as if he did, bizarrely. This is the very definition of what a "strawman argument" is.

So you'd rather have an 17-16 extra points game decided because the receiving player didn't see the serve contact like what happened in the match? Wouldn't be more exciting if the game was decided by an exciting rally, rather than how it actually ended? Shinozuka having no idea what the serve...

There could be a rule like your shoulders need to be square to the table, and this would eliminate all body block illegal serves. Maybe something less severe like you just can't have your shoulders perpendicular to the table. But in the end, OP's post is kinda pointless. He's not a pro and it...

Kim is very slick. There were times she played at full speed like Miwa and then she chose moments to slow it down just a bit to break the pace and force mistakes. Really made Miwa second guess herself and it resulted in a ton of misses on balls Miwa usually absolutely crushes. That's usually the...

Here's a shot of the serve ace he got to win that 18:16 game. He's definitely got a way of willing himself to victory with his service game!

I know you're joking about this a bit but there's a lot of truth in this. When they got eliminated against the Koreans yesterday, Harimoto had to constantly try to motivate and pump up a very frustrated and deflated Sora. He was being the cheerleader in that pair and it was pretty funny to...

OH! Junsung! Oh Junsung was so unsung reaching the QF in this tournament. WCQ out there givinga lot of recognition to a lot of players recently, though not by choice.

Harimoto got an edge ball and the broadcaster scored it for LYJ which messed up the scoreline for a bit. When they realized, they took it offscreen to fix it.

Another pro that is switching a lot between pendulum and hook with the exact same setup is Miwa. She has a hook serve that is side/top but looks a lot like her underspin pendulum. She actually won matchpoint against Batra just now with it. Her serve motions are really compact using her body...

Guess we seeing why Japan didn't play Matsushima recently. He kinda just imploded in that doubles match against the Singaporeans now. None of his shots were finding the table.
